That ball thingy in 19th hole bar.

I must have spent an hour watching the balls roll around in that contraption. Does anyone know who made that or where to find more info on similiar machines? The one I saw was on Adventure but I imagine they have them on more ships. Thanks in advance for any leads.

You have GOT to be talking about the Explorer of the Seas, right?!! I loved that darn thing!

[aebalc]

Wow! I'm shocked its been an hour and noone has had the anwer to this question. CruiseCritic folks generally Know everything about the major ships from each line. You guys do love that machine as much as me, don't you?

Rube Goldberg lives. Not who made that machine, but the same principle.

Anyone got a picture of this? I am curious now. Do they have this on the Radiance of the Seas?

Here's a picture.

You'll have to cruise on the Explorer to see everything it does. It's fascinating.

It's only on the Explorer.

don't have a photo of the contraption but this link to a google video reminds me of that machine! We were bummed that they didn't have one on the Navigator - it is mesmerizing!

A great classic computer game, same principle as this machine on the Explorer of the Seas.

 

This computer game really stimulates the mind and is a challenge, but it is so much fun. I am going to see if I can download it somewhere.

There's a HUGE one of those outside the science museum in Fort Lauderdale (it was there last time we went to the museum). My son could sit and watch it for hours. You may want to check it out next time you cruise out of FT. L.

There's one on Adventure and I think a smaller version on Navigator.

Nice links guys thanks. If anyone knows more about the specific ones on the ships plse post.

The one in Fort Lauderdale is actually a clock:

That is what is known as Kinetic Sculpture.

 

That piece looks like it might have been done by Bruce Gray

Rube Goldberg lives. He may even have invented the computer.
